January 2017 School Holiday Program – Pottery in Ballarat

I have not posted on the blog as much as I wanted during term four as I have not been well during the past few months, as many students will know….. so my New Years Resolution : GOOD HEALTH!!

SO …. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all πŸ™‚

School Holiday Program AND Adults Classes Start this Week!

I’m a bit slow with this weeks school holiday workshop update – that is because my NBN has been down since last Thursday!! I was doing minimal stuff thinking it would be resolved by now – but NO! So I am now chewing up my mobile hotspot coverage (yes I will be demanding compensation) to share the FAB plates &Β bowls made during the workshop πŸ™‚

And, remember adults classes start this week, and there are a few vacancies available – so visit the SHOP and enrol πŸ™‚

School Holiday Program – Pottery in Ballarat.

Last Wednesdays school holiday workshop went off with a bang with lots of colourful Christmas decorations being made. The decorations were painted with coloured slips (slip is liquid clay) and when fired the colours will be bright and shiny.

This Wednesdays workshop is also Christmas themed and we will be making bowls decorated with Christmassy designs. These bowls will be fired to stoneware temperature so can be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher, so will make a great addition to the Christmas table. To enrol go to the SHOP and click on the School Holiday category.
